example 1
[0023]A heat transfer fluid consisting essentially of 50% by weight of HFC-32 and 50% by weight of CO2 was tested in accordance with the procedure outlined in Example 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,744,052 (hereafter the '052 patent). The resulting vapor pressures was measured at 25° C. and found to be as follows:
[0024]
Wt. % EvaporatedVapor Pressure @ 25° C.0577 psia (3976 kPa)50478 psia (3295 kPa)
This large change (21 relative %) in vapor pressure with amount of fluid vaporized establishes that the heat transfer fluid of the present invention is non-azeotrope-like, which is in contrast to the compositions described in column 3, line 5, of the '052 patent. In addition, this result demonstrates that the present heat transfer fluids possess a vapor pressure, even after a 50% evaporation rate, that is almost twice that of the fluids disclosed '052 patent.
example 2
[0025]Various heat transfer fluids consisting essentially of HFC-32 and CO2 were tested for vapor pressure at 40° F. for comparison to the vapor pressure of HCFC-22 at 40° F., that is, 83 psia. This is the equivalent vapor pressure claimed for the ternary blends described U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,063. The vapor pressure results are reported below:
[0026]
Wt. % HFC-32Vapor Pressure @ 40 F.60251 psia50288 psia40328 psia30378 psia
This example shows that heat transfer fluids in accordance with the present invention have vapor pressures that are 3 to 5 times higher than HCFC-22.
example 3
[0027]This example shows advantages of the present heat transfer fluids relative to HFC-32 as a single component heat transfer fluid. Flammability of refrigerant gases can be determined by preparing various compositions and testing them by the ASTM E-681 method published by the American Society for Testing of Materials, which is incorporated herein by reference. HFC-32 is known to be a flammable gas and precludes its use as a single component refrigerant in many important applications. Applicants have tested various combinations of HFC-32 and CO2 and discovered that the maximum amount of the HFC-32 that can be present in heat transfer fluid blend consisting essentially of CO2 and HFC-32 while remaining nonflammable in all proportions in air (as determined by ASTM E-681) is about 55 mol % (59 wt %). In other words, applicants have discovered that heat transfer fluids of the present invention containing at least 45 mol % (about 40 wt %) CO2, and preferably no more than 55 mol % (about...
